I’ve watched pretty much every single Classic Wow “Class Picking Guide” on CZcams, and this is by far the best. You made everything clearly structured and to the point, yet I don’t think you missed a single detail of what makes each class unique, especially from a play-style perspective. Top marks, Meta Goblin!
Tbh there is a lot of misinformation and lack of important information here. It's not a bad guide but definitely not a great one either. If you think this is good, go watch madseasonshow class picking guide for classic, or Willie's "was it any good" series.
I don’t see why they won’t add dual spec and some other class changes to make them more than meme speccs. We already had the faithful recreation in wow classic. They should make this one a little different
As someone who raided in vanilla as a shadow priest, I completely agree. My first toon was an enhancement shaman in vanilla. I was told by everyone I had to heal endgame. So I rolled a spriest alt and was always mid to bottom of the raid dps, especially as raiding progressed. I'm loving TBC classic rn, because I'm reliving the glory days of being in the top 4-5 dps while getting doted over for mana return. If this video has taught me anything, it's that I need to lvl a rogue.
Its more about gold sink then any other reason. There are not many ways to get some gold out of the economy after ur mounts. So gold becomes useless at end game and if people don't need gold then they won't farm and won't keep items listed on AH for that gold.
@@masturone8257 I think they should nerf the cost a lot people don’t respec because it’s 50g. If it was like 10g I think it would be an even greater gold sink more people would be respecting and probably end up spending more gold than if it were 50g.
As someone who always loved and defended Rets of the early days, I have to warn anyone considering it now. I thought with so much new information, that the Ret would experience a renaissance and be a viable DPS, and while understanding of it did increase which drastically shot up its DPS, the same happened with every other class, but much more extreme. I looked at raiding logs when everyone was raiding Naxx as current content, and looked at the DPS logs for each class on each boss to get a sense of how much DPS they could do on average at the very end game. The results were Ret being the 2nd lowest DPS in the game, with only Shadow Priests being below them. Even though the highest DPS I had ever heard of a Paladin doing between vanilla and classic jumped from around 800 DPS to 1600 DPS, the max DPS for ANY class I had heard of jumped from 1000 DPS to 4000-6000 DPS. Even Feral Druids and I think both Shaman DPS specs outperformed it; the math just isn't there for them to succeed. Though they CAN definitely level way more efficiently than everyone seems to think. Stacking Spirit is the #1 way to make leveling a breeze. If you get Stength/Spirit on every single piece of gear, use Retribution Aura (With Improved Ret Aura talent), Blessing of Wisdom, and then spend all your mana in chunks (Seal about to expire? Hammer of Justice -> Judgement -> Reapply Seal) to keep yourself in the 5 second mana regen window, you can destroy most anything. That's what I did in Classic and I literally didn't buy a single bit of food or water from 1-60 and never really had to wait around for downtime.
@@jacobgarcia9175 in AV every class is fun if you have atleast a few people with you since you have literally no range capabilities. In WSG, its alittle different. Once the initially charge is over with and everyone is fighting it becomes easier to initiate as a melee. If you go up against a counter class in full bis then it won’t be fun but everyone is if they are at your gear level is okay depending on who has cd’s. Finding friends to play with or just some server peeps to queue with always makes it more enjoyable
The thing you dont consider is having several rets in raid that are stacking different rank of SotC which actually will buff holy dmg by insane amount. However seems like noone actually knows about it. Did not see anyone even tested it.
@@slavamukhin4140 SoW would take prio for mana regen for the casters in the raid over adding more dmg to rets. Rets can only do so much damage compared to other classes.
The two classes that are in a new place are the Shadow Priest and the Afflict Warlock. Afflict will be much more effective against high health mobs. The Dots just flow... I am still wondering about the CoE versus CoS. As to the Shadow priest they really do pump out a lot of healing as well as their damage. Longer fights will make this much easier on the healer and health is just mana to Locks. I don't know if all this will matter, but they seem to be the most improved with the loss of the debuff cap. Raid composition will matter, but I see all Locks on the rise and Shadow priests needing a slot in any raid.
Shadows oom without the world buffs. And locks lose out on 20% spell crit which hurts their dps. You wouldn’t go spriest without there being enough warlocks to make it worth. You’d see them in earlier tiers but it’s more likely that the meta doubles down on warriors. The highest raiders which split raid for extra gear chances since there is 8-9 resets between tiers which isn’t a lot of chances for gear
@@blackyvertigo crits were regarding shadow not aff. The debuff limit hasnt made aff stronger than ruin/sac build. Warlocks also do not scale as well as ignite fire mages as the phases progress. Mages are also now required (at least 4-5 min) for the decursing in the new boss encounters. Mages may have less sustain than warlocks but you only really need 2-3 warlocks for banishing. You wouldnt stack spriests and warlocks for clearing. A ranged focused comp is the play but needs to be balanced for the encounters and you dont remove all your melees.
@@Wellshem yeah, I agree. but I can see you bringing support roles like Spriest, boomkin for Improved Faerie Fire 3% is huge for melee, not to mention the crit buff for fire mages. also survival hunter might be meta too
everyone is top tier! so every player can be happy! (and people don't feel somehow attacked when their "favourite" class is not listed in top tier [don't ask me how a person gets personally attacked when their "favourite" class is not on the list])
No class balancing or even gear stat balancing(like giving spell gear + to both healing and damage instead of just one like in TBC). I prob wont be touching this then.
Blizzard is just fucking lazy at this point. They could just adapt their talents and items from TBC to SoM and hybrid classes could at least be played. But no...
Hybrids are gonna get screwed I think, because raids are harder but they aren't doing any class balances. So Druids, paladins and shaman (and Priests to a lesser extent) are still going to be forced into healing, and now the fights will be harder.
With warrior the execute phase is longer sure. But rogues are on par already and they get deadly poison and rupture in raids now. So they might win this time.

Unfortunately the biggest counter to Druid is rank1 frost bolt spam. Can’t get on top of the mage then, the moment you get out of cat or bear to starfire, mage preps sheep, back into form, rinse repeat.
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 You never use starfire in pvp, and wrath is faster than poly. And if a mage ever does sheep you it's a free heal because you can break it whenever you want.
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 Pyro still has a cast time, and you can go into bear form while polyed, and even charge the mage for an interrupt. Mages are super easy targets as feral.
It seems that some players are simply clueless so i am going to explain this properly: The warlock will be most likely the best PvE DPS class simply because it will be able to spam DOTs with better hit chance since there are talents for +hit at the affliction talent tree while also using flask +life tap ( bandage ) if needed for more mana. The warlock will also not rely heavily on world buffs nor weapons unlike warriors/rogues to deal damage. The warlock will actually get stronger because of more debuff slots and better +hit chance on spells while the physical dps classes and especially rogues+warriors will become weaker after losing up to 30% damage from world buffs and having to deal with extra boss mechanics.
Funny to call people clueless when you come up with such garbage :D Even at 0% extra hit it has been theorycrafted and tested millions of times that Shadowbolt is simply more dps than spending a GCD on DoT. The only reason why DoTs are gonna be good is that you buy yourself some GCDs before you start spaming Shadowbolts forever, which makes threat a lesser issue. If Locks try to put and keep up DoTs after that, they will definetly lose dps. Also it is a fact that Warriors and Rogues remain top tier even without world buffs, the gap will just be a little smaller. Although potentially longer fights will hurt mana users more than melee for very obvious reasons. Next time you call people clueless, try to not just pull anything out of your ass but look at some facts beforehand. There are logs and spreadsheets out there, use them. Thanks
I think Hunters and Druids will be good options. Top tier levelers. And! They are two classes that will suffer the least from loot scarcity in seasons. Melee classes will be fighting tooth and nail for weapons and trinkets. Mages and Warlocks will be fighting over quite a few pieces as well. There's usually a lot of Mages, and in my experience they tend to get loot prio over Warlocks
Probably worth mentioning flask sets for warriors. No area of content doesnt get effected by it lol leveling, end game raiding, even pvp a good warrior gets huge impact with flask sets
As a ele shaman guy id debate ele is busted af at leveling,dungeons, and pvp. Just make sure you have a mage buddy to give you non stop water. Water legit becomes your rotation. You will top charts aslong as everything dies somewhat fast. In which most cases it does. The burst is the funnest thing i think in classic. Its comical.
my experience leveling ret usually came down to speccing into holy just enough to get imp bow, then respeccing full ret when I learn sow. keeping bow and sow active allows you to take on enemies with your auto attack while keeping your mana mostly full, topping off with FOL (which I usually carry an stat stick with healing buffs for), and not needing to stop and drink much.
Have a quick question and anyone can chime in! With the no debuff limit will some classes become viable? Like warlocks or maybe spriest? Any input is great! Thanks :)
Man leveling a paladin is the most annoying thing I ever made, how is paladin ''mid tier'' leveling and warrior low tier, paladin leveling is boring as fuck, at least with warrior you have abilitys to press lol
You will play a warrior , rogue or a healer. SoM is meta heavy with all the boss changes so there will be abolutely, remotely no reason to take any other class.
Not everyone plays for raids. I usually quit before even doing molten core. There is a lot of game before you get to endgame and tons of dungeons out there
I like not changing the classes. Keep much of that spirit intact. I'm not complaining about Warriors, Rogues etc...They are simply more badass and deserve high position.
@@aotearoaaudio a lot of mobs will not be able to be snared in dungeons and if you are much higher level than the people in the group you get significantly less xp.
there's not much interest for me to play again. If there was some major changes I would but other than doing some of the starter zones when the server launches that will be the only bit I play. I dunno about anyone else but there's something really fun about leveling in the starter zones when there's players everywhere. I find that super enjoyable. But other than that I do think season of mastery is cool but there's not enough that is holding my interest. If they ever did a season where there's new gear and maybe new tier sets for different talent trees, taht would interest me.
For Hunters, the roughs are the easiest class to beat. You have both flare and hunter mark to fight invisibility, ton of traps, disange and stun both in mele and range and on pet.
Overall good video imo, but just got a couple of coments. woud add a reckoning paladin to the short list of 1v1's being hard to win for rogues. played it in classic, and i dont think i ever died to a rogue 1v1, but they are easily killed. my second thing, is to your point about the prediction that warriors will be better dps due to execute face being longer. i have heard this alot, and every time i think to my self... well. anyway this doesn't make any sense since, yes the execute face is longer, but the rest of the fight will also be longer since it's procentage based. and with dps counting thru the whole of the fight, the execute face will just put the dps higher up than before while the rest of the fight equally will get the dps down. there will be no change to that from classic to new classic.
In hindsight, warriors have the worst solo gold farming experience. They rely so heavily on support that you get outcompeted in the world and aside from tanking services there aren't many niche gold practices.
The 763 people who are playing g wow fresh appreciate the video. Even though they have 5, 60s 2 ,70s. And a dozen half played characters. Who is this fresh mastery shit for?
I am not playing at the moment but i appreciate this video. The number of people that playing in a post - phase 6 realm is irrelevant as the game ends after naxx is done. The exact number of players that will be interested for season of mastery will be defined on launch day. Pretty safe to assume that few hundred thousands of players will participate in SoM. Enough to turn 5-10 servers per region to full pop. Quote me if im wrong after launch.
I've never played WOW ever and I'm really thinking about starting only problem is o don't have any friends who wanna play sadly lol.. But ima still try it out all my friends played in high school when the game came out but don't play no more.
Why isn't there tbc prepatch talents....Meme specs would be more viable ench/ele sham,boomkin,spriest,ret paladin, arms warrior. Nobody wants to stack rogues/warriors and mages again....even with the small changes being implemented.
@@vaynepref I think you misunderstand. Prepatch was 11 days. No one got to experience what it was like. Prepatch improved on classes across the board. No one loses out because of prepatch. Having an entire year of classic but with prepatch would be hilariously fun. Not even original prepatch was that long. There’s nothing wrong with suggesting a direct improvement to the game experience. Those that want pserver style are back to pservers again. Because they don’t play tbc pservers. They play classic. This won’t be classic. They’ve already admitted it. If you want classic style go to current classic servers then…
@@vaynepref prepatch, I want prepatch. Tbc is tbc. Id want full patch progression for classic as well as tbc. But if I had to choose I’d want permanent prepatch which is significantly different than tbc.
You were kind of stuck to healing touch until until 8/8 t2 and t3 bonuses. But they got waaay better when they reworked HOTS not pushing off world buffs
You can avoid resto until 60 and be a competent healer with just int/spirit gear healing dungeons whenever you aren’t open world grinding. Doing dungeons is never a problem so long as you just add 2 macros for downranked HT for mana management. You have the single highest heal in the game on horde while leveling. Desperate prayer is the alliance’s stronger heal but for horde HT is the highest. It’s a long cast time to get used to because the rarely increases so you are usually looking at around a 3s cast even if you downrank. Once the tiers get flowing you’ll be able to swap out of HT spam into Regrowth if you choose. Otherwise if you become the dedicated tank healer, you actually go all points resto for rejuv talents which your job becomes maintaining on tank and then innervate whoever is the main priest healer or shaman if you RL or officer is whichever.
not following much on classic but they remove world buffs no? then warrior might be going from god tier to mid tier. i mean world buffs gives way too much to warriors
Warriors were best DPS without wbuffs and they will still be, with longer fights you get longer execute phase and other dps going oom. They will still be the kings
It's looking like everyone's going alliance this time around, so I'mma lvl an enh shaman, do some ganking, maybe hit 60 and gank with pre-bis, then quit. Raids are gonna be terrible to be worth doing.
Since Blizzard is too fucking lazy to adjust talents or items there will be absolutely no reason to go for hybrid classes. Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Warlock will be the only classes to go if you wan't to be even slightly competitive.
Not sure who this video is tailored for .. because nothing has changed ... at all for any class. World Buffs just pushed already high tier classes to be more insane ... so I don't see why explaining this again is of any benefit. To the small subset of players that are going to be new sure .. but these videos already exist for the launch of the previous vanilla classic server. If Blizzard doesn't make any further class balance tuning, I don't see why old players (even I who first played WoW in the Vanilla servers) are going to return.
I'm playing with a group so I'll be leveling as prot warrior mostly, having a holy paladin with me. But as soon as I'm 60 instantly going fury as it's the one I wanna do
that's the reason why classic is dead and also other new versions of classic will be dead. This is the reason why it's not that much fun as it was back than i 2005. because the people forgot the have fun, today it is just important to make fast progress and being better than everybody else. 2005 it was about fun and having good times with friends.
Since the melee lost their world buffs and the casters will have flasks on top of having the debuffs increased on bosses then we already know the winner for raids ( warlocks might be the best due to the prolonged fights and life tap ).
played both warlock and warrior on beta this week. warriors and rogues always toping the meters. locks starting decently if they get some lucky crits but in case they need to tap they are losing gcds so they are going to the bottom spots fast.
@@kalogria13 You are clueless. The warlock does not need to get lucky with crits because it will keep DOTs up and those are also affliction based so the warlock will no longer suffer from +hit penalty since there are talents with +hit for affliction spells. The warlock will also get so much stronger past MC where the mobs are immune to fire ( immolation ). If you were spaming shadowbolt when the debuff limit on bosses was increased significantly then i have nothing else to say.
I do think warrior and rogue are going to change though. Because of world buffs. That could shift things quite a bit. But big picture, I have no idea why blizz is doing this. It’s just classic “hard mode”. Seems overal kinda pointless and just going from spread out the player base even more. Servers are already dying on tbc. But you think blizz will merge low pop servers 😂😂 not with a 25$ transfer available. They could have done soooo much more with classic fresh. They could have made this a wow 2.0. Balance and fix classes Fix add talent trees Massive quality of like changed (There is too many to list)
Anyone knows if it's possible to transfer a lvl 60 classic toon to a new classic fresh server? Last time played it before tbc launch and I haven't chosen its expansion world yet.
@@henrikh3089 fuck... damn. Thanks for the info. Less likely to have the time and patience to start over again. I was hoping to have it so I could start raiding in phase1. And have they been released on when is that planned?
Currently on the beta the bumped exp quest completion bonus from +25% to +40%. It’s a net gain for everyone. You will be faster than original classic launch but slower than tbc prepatch / tbc. With the influx of people playing so long as you pick a hybrid or healer you’ll find groups for dungeons and be able to avoid a lot of open world farming
Also the assumed release is late nov but unknown if it’s accurate or not for now. My assumption is that if they want to make any big raid changes (other than numerical) we won’t see a November release since we can’t go to 60 on the beta yet, 45 just got unlocked.

Mage is over rated. I died a lot learning to AoE kite. Drinking water gets old, being OOM gets old. Solo mage is rough imo.
I know it's not a repost technically, but it feels like one.
Love the fable song at the beginning
“...polymorph, one of the best ccs in the game”
Laughs in Druid.
Unfortunately the biggest counter to Druid is rank1 frost bolt spam. Can’t get on top of the mage then, the moment you get out of cat or bear to starfire, mage preps sheep, back into form, rinse repeat.
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 You never use starfire in pvp, and wrath is faster than poly. And if a mage ever does sheep you it's a free heal because you can break it whenever you want.
@@Bingcrens except poly into Pom pyro will kill a Druid outside of bear
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 if you can poly a druid, he is fucking trash and you deserve to win
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 Pyro still has a cast time, and you can go into bear form while polyed, and even charge the mage for an interrupt. Mages are super easy targets as feral.
SoM is out for some time now and I'm still not sure what class to play. I really have a problem choosing :s
30 minute video, no timestamps. Cheeky.
CZcams won't let me use them anymore
It seems that some players are simply clueless so i am going to explain this properly: The warlock will be most likely the best PvE DPS class simply because it will be able to spam DOTs with better hit chance since there are talents for +hit at the affliction talent tree while also using flask +life tap ( bandage ) if needed for more mana. The warlock will also not rely heavily on world buffs nor weapons unlike warriors/rogues to deal damage. The warlock will actually get stronger because of more debuff slots and better +hit chance on spells while the physical dps classes and especially rogues+warriors will become weaker after losing up to 30% damage from world buffs and having to deal with extra boss mechanics.
You’re greatly over-valuing the damage lock dots do.
Funny to call people clueless when you come up with such garbage :D Even at 0% extra hit it has been theorycrafted and tested millions of times that Shadowbolt is simply more dps than spending a GCD on DoT. The only reason why DoTs are gonna be good is that you buy yourself some GCDs before you start spaming Shadowbolts forever, which makes threat a lesser issue. If Locks try to put and keep up DoTs after that, they will definetly lose dps. Also it is a fact that Warriors and Rogues remain top tier even without world buffs, the gap will just be a little smaller. Although potentially longer fights will hurt mana users more than melee for very obvious reasons.
Next time you call people clueless, try to not just pull anything out of your ass but look at some facts beforehand. There are logs and spreadsheets out there, use them. Thanks
I think Hunters and Druids will be good options. Top tier levelers. And! They are two classes that will suffer the least from loot scarcity in seasons.
Melee classes will be fighting tooth and nail for weapons and trinkets.
Mages and Warlocks will be fighting over quite a few pieces as well. There's usually a lot of Mages, and in my experience they tend to get loot prio over Warlocks
Druids compete with cloths for gear for raiding. And hunters compete with rogues and some warrior pieces
wait on official classic servers there is no debuff cap? i thought there is one and they removed it in hardcore classic
26:41 we were lied to... to tactics channel in description...
Probably worth mentioning flask sets for warriors. No area of content doesnt get effected by it lol leveling, end game raiding, even pvp a good warrior gets huge impact with flask sets
Not that worth to mention as it got fixed
@@chocrikir655 Yeah I heard that. Out of everything thats what they notice and change lol
Great overview of the classes.
As a ele shaman guy id debate ele is busted af at leveling,dungeons, and pvp. Just make sure you have a mage buddy to give you non stop water. Water legit becomes your rotation. You will top charts aslong as everything dies somewhat fast. In which most cases it does. The burst is the funnest thing i think in classic. Its comical.
I always wonder what class to play and pick pally everytime because that is my favorite class. I am thinking druid and pally for my toons
my experience leveling ret usually came down to speccing into holy just enough to get imp bow, then respeccing full ret when I learn sow. keeping bow and sow active allows you to take on enemies with your auto attack while keeping your mana mostly full, topping off with FOL (which I usually carry an stat stick with healing buffs for), and not needing to stop and drink much.
Are you playing oblivion music in the background of a wow video because it's great music or is it just to mess with us?
The paladin dress problem might not be as bad because they have the set 2 tier sets.
Perfect timing for this vid
Warrior , mage , rogue . lF healer LF healer
Paladins make great 5 man tanks especially later on. Raids on the other hand main tanking very difficult to do effectively. I've tried lol...
Tripple specs in the open world , palas/shammys for both factions and no raid lockout times
Have a quick question and anyone can chime in! With the no debuff limit will some classes become viable? Like warlocks or maybe spriest? Any input is great! Thanks :)
Yes even shamans and warrior can do their thing
Not really, mana is far more of a limit on meme specs than debuffs.
Man leveling a paladin is the most annoying thing I ever made, how is paladin ''mid tier'' leveling and warrior low tier, paladin leveling is boring as fuck, at least with warrior you have abilitys to press lol
You will play a warrior , rogue or a healer. SoM is meta heavy with all the boss changes so there will be abolutely, remotely no reason to take any other class.
Not everyone plays for raids. I usually quit before even doing molten core. There is a lot of game before you get to endgame and tons of dungeons out there
I like not changing the classes. Keep much of that spirit intact. I'm not complaining about Warriors, Rogues etc...They are simply more badass and deserve high position.
I wish they would add that tbc mans Regen talent for ele
Will the next ‘season’ be a new patch or a fresh server or both?
May need to update this for mage given the huge nerfs that are planned for them.. :)
what nerfs...?
@@aotearoaaudio a lot of mobs will not be able to be snared in dungeons and if you are much higher level than the people in the group you get significantly less xp.
there's not much interest for me to play again. If there was some major changes I would but other than doing some of the starter zones when the server launches that will be the only bit I play. I dunno about anyone else but there's something really fun about leveling in the starter zones when there's players everywhere. I find that super enjoyable. But other than that I do think season of mastery is cool but there's not enough that is holding my interest. If they ever did a season where there's new gear and maybe new tier sets for different talent trees, taht would interest me.
I thought this video title was a joke
Aaah~ that fable song
For Hunters, the roughs are the easiest class to beat. You have both flare and hunter mark to fight invisibility, ton of traps, disange and stun both in mele and range and on pet.
nice relaxing video, good deepth.
Overall good video imo, but just got a couple of coments. woud add a reckoning paladin to the short list of 1v1's being hard to win for rogues. played it in classic, and i dont think i ever died to a rogue 1v1, but they are easily killed. my second thing, is to your point about the prediction that warriors will be better dps due to execute face being longer. i have heard this alot, and every time i think to my self... well. anyway this doesn't make any sense since, yes the execute face is longer, but the rest of the fight will also be longer since it's procentage based. and with dps counting thru the whole of the fight, the execute face will just put the dps higher up than before while the rest of the fight equally will get the dps down. there will be no change to that from classic to new classic.
I've leveled several characters to lvl 20 cos I can't decide a main
I'm so torn between pally or rogue
I am confused here. What changes the fact is still the same game? No offense metagoblin I love you content. I’m just confused
I won’t touch this game unless they make adjustments to class balance and gear.
Paladín IS top tier in PvP ?
Today I learned that vampiric touch is in classic
In hindsight, warriors have the worst solo gold farming experience. They rely so heavily on support that you get outcompeted in the world and aside from tanking services there aren't many niche gold practices.
Get a healer friend and live in dme I guess
Warrior all the way baby
SoM Hype !! SoM Hype !!
Im torn between lock and rogue
The 763 people who are playing g wow fresh appreciate the video. Even though they have 5, 60s 2 ,70s. And a dozen half played characters. Who is this fresh mastery shit for?
I am not playing at the moment but i appreciate this video. The number of people that playing in a post - phase 6 realm is irrelevant as the game ends after naxx is done. The exact number of players that will be interested for season of mastery will be defined on launch day. Pretty safe to assume that few hundred thousands of players will participate in SoM. Enough to turn 5-10 servers per region to full pop. Quote me if im wrong after launch.
I've never played WOW ever and I'm really thinking about starting only problem is o don't have any friends who wanna play sadly lol.. But ima still try it out all my friends played in high school when the game came out but don't play no more.
Thanks!
Why isn't there tbc prepatch talents....Meme specs would be more viable ench/ele sham,boomkin,spriest,ret paladin, arms warrior.
Nobody wants to stack rogues/warriors and mages again....even with the small changes being implemented.
Putting tbc talents and tbc leveling (+world changes) would make a classic experience incredibly unique
Just go play tbc then lol Whats the problem?
@@vaynepref I think you misunderstand. Prepatch was 11 days. No one got to experience what it was like. Prepatch improved on classes across the board. No one loses out because of prepatch. Having an entire year of classic but with prepatch would be hilariously fun. Not even original prepatch was that long. There’s nothing wrong with suggesting a direct improvement to the game experience. Those that want pserver style are back to pservers again. Because they don’t play tbc pservers. They play classic. This won’t be classic. They’ve already admitted it. If you want classic style go to current classic servers then…
@@huntedbymoonlight2513 Well if you want tbc style talents then go play tbc, literally the same thing you just said about classic lmao
@@vaynepref prepatch, I want prepatch. Tbc is tbc. Id want full patch progression for classic as well as tbc. But if I had to choose I’d want permanent prepatch which is significantly different than tbc.
Glad they aren’t changing any classes. The tourists are big mad though.
when are they released?
People should play it Hardcore
So what is the install just "classic" because the tbc is different right?
It’s a classic hybrid
Installs as classic era
Thanks again 😗
Will arms warrior be viable for raiding since we won’t have to worry about debuff slots for mortal strike?
I mean fury will still be much stronger due to rage gen
Arms is just bad for raiding. If 2h is the only way for you (which is still a lot weaker than dw fury) 2h fury is still better than arms by miles
How was resto druid in classic? I imagine it would be frustrating getting heal sniped, but idk
Resto druids ARE the heal snipers d:
You were kind of stuck to healing touch until until 8/8 t2 and t3 bonuses. But they got waaay better when they reworked HOTS not pushing off world buffs
once you can pump 1.3s regrowths its awesome
You can avoid resto until 60 and be a competent healer with just int/spirit gear healing dungeons whenever you aren’t open world grinding. Doing dungeons is never a problem so long as you just add 2 macros for downranked HT for mana management. You have the single highest heal in the game on horde while leveling. Desperate prayer is the alliance’s stronger heal but for horde HT is the highest. It’s a long cast time to get used to because the rarely increases so you are usually looking at around a 3s cast even if you downrank. Once the tiers get flowing you’ll be able to swap out of HT spam into Regrowth if you choose. Otherwise if you become the dedicated tank healer, you actually go all points resto for rejuv talents which your job becomes maintaining on tank and then innervate whoever is the main priest healer or shaman if you RL or officer is whichever.
not following much on classic but they remove world buffs no? then warrior might be going from god tier to mid tier. i mean world buffs gives way too much to warriors
Warriors were best DPS without wbuffs and they will still be, with longer fights you get longer execute phase and other dps going oom. They will still be the kings
Blizzard should have added new healing items. The amount of Paladins and Shamans would double if they didn't have to wear the teal dress.
Where the fook is that link to your guy lvling a warr in 4 days
so, what's changed?
It's looking like everyone's going alliance this time around, so I'mma lvl an enh shaman, do some ganking, maybe hit 60 and gank with pre-bis, then quit. Raids are gonna be terrible to be worth doing.
Since Blizzard is too fucking lazy to adjust talents or items there will be absolutely no reason to go for hybrid classes. Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Warlock will be the only classes to go if you wan't to be even slightly competitive.
Talking about Classic WoW to Fable music lol
Oakvale - Fable ost
Ye mage min max will be worse for harder bosses and raids won't take memes unless they're true chads
when do the new servers start and will there be german servers?
There will be 5 international EU Servers, so no specific german servers but there will be lots of german communitys on these servers
I hate the community. I wish blizz would've fixed classic in a way that allowed other specs to be better or viable.
Not sure who this video is tailored for .. because nothing has changed ... at all for any class. World Buffs just pushed already high tier classes to be more insane ... so I don't see why explaining this again is of any benefit.
To the small subset of players that are going to be new sure .. but these videos already exist for the launch of the previous vanilla classic server.
If Blizzard doesn't make any further class balance tuning, I don't see why old players (even I who first played WoW in the Vanilla servers) are going to return.
I'm playing with a group so I'll be leveling as prot warrior mostly, having a holy paladin with me. But as soon as I'm 60 instantly going fury as it's the one I wanna do
Levelling with prot is brutal. You can tank fine with fury or arms. Prot will make you unable to kill a mob without spending 2 minutes each mob
Thanks for the update, anything else?
Anyone wanna plan on doing some duo leveling? I'm on the west coast and plan on rolling alliance . Let me know :)
The west coast of what

druid as "top tier" pvp classic. are you fucking joking
that's the reason why classic is dead and also other new versions of classic will be dead. This is the reason why it's not that much fun as it was back than i 2005. because the people forgot the have fun, today it is just important to make fast progress and being better than everybody else. 2005 it was about fun and having good times with friends.
Since the melee lost their world buffs and the casters will have flasks on top of having the debuffs increased on bosses then we already know the winner for raids ( warlocks might be the best due to the prolonged fights and life tap ).
Ye but long fights also make warriors strong. I think they will still be the top dogs
@@DontHearNoEvil Have fun with the glancing hits.
@@denome3725 have fun wanding when healers can't heal you up due to mana problems cuz of longer fights
played both warlock and warrior on beta this week. warriors and rogues always toping the meters. locks starting decently if they get some lucky crits but in case they need to tap they are losing gcds so they are going to the bottom spots fast.
@@kalogria13 You are clueless. The warlock does not need to get lucky with crits because it will keep DOTs up and those are also affliction based so the warlock will no longer suffer from +hit penalty since there are talents with +hit for affliction spells. The warlock will also get so much stronger past MC where the mobs are immune to fire ( immolation ). If you were spaming shadowbolt when the debuff limit on bosses was increased significantly then i have nothing else to say.
play pally, best in the game but if you disagree you are wrong, sry
I want to but ret and rets dps is really bad :(
I do think warrior and rogue are going to change though. Because of world buffs. That could shift things quite a bit. But big picture, I have no idea why blizz is doing this. It’s just classic “hard mode”. Seems overal kinda pointless and just going from spread out the player base even more. Servers are already dying on tbc. But you think blizz will merge low pop servers 😂😂 not with a 25$ transfer available. They could have done soooo much more with classic fresh. They could have made this a wow 2.0. Balance and fix classes
Fix add talent trees
Massive quality of like changed
(There is too many to list)
Anyone knows if it's possible to transfer a lvl 60 classic toon to a new classic fresh server? Last time played it before tbc launch and I haven't chosen its expansion world yet.
Not possible, its supposed to be a hard reset.
@@henrikh3089 fuck... damn. Thanks for the info. Less likely to have the time and patience to start over again. I was hoping to have it so I could start raiding in phase1. And have they been released on when is that planned?
@@g0blin11 Not sure when they plan to release it.
Currently on the beta the bumped exp quest completion bonus from +25% to +40%. It’s a net gain for everyone. You will be faster than original classic launch but slower than tbc prepatch / tbc. With the influx of people playing so long as you pick a hybrid or healer you’ll find groups for dungeons and be able to avoid a lot of open world farming
Also the assumed release is late nov but unknown if it’s accurate or not for now. My assumption is that if they want to make any big raid changes (other than numerical) we won’t see a November release since we can’t go to 60 on the beta yet, 45 just got unlocked.
